Immaculate property, excellent value

Our second visit. Little has changed. Charming hotel. As clean as an operating theatre. Nice, large rooms, all with excellent views. Staff exceptional. Only negative. Can be affected by loud music from nearby club/ restaurant from 9pmto 2am. Will affected light sleepers. Hotel cannot improve this as outside their control.

Gem of a Hotel !

Great small hotel. Excellent sincere service. Fabulous views from the room balcony over the bay with iconic moored fishing boats. Good location for bars and restaurants along the Gap. Real value for money. Others comments about noise at night must be from very light sleepers


Convenient and clean

Property had strengths and weaknesses however was decent overall. The room was spacious and clean. The bed could have more comfortable, wasn’t great but wasn’t terrible either. Conveniently located near many restaurants. My greatest beef, and it goes for everywhere I went in Barbados, was the lack of a decent...
